I watched the GB QuickLook and while it seems interesting since it is a coop F2P game, I didn't think the actual gameplay looked all that enticing. Maybe as you level up and get more unlocks and stuff it gets more interesting?

I think I'll go sign up for a closed beta key and give it a try this weekend or something.

anyone interested in going in on the founder's pack that gives guest keys? looks like the $50 level gives 3 guest keys so something like $12.50 or so each. Sadly only one person would get the ingame gear though.

Pretty fun, a bit of a more mobile Mass Effect multiplayer. Some of the character animations are very nice, like the knee slide. Also, this game has a ton of level up unlocks. You have your player level, but then you have your Frame level, and also each weapon has it's own level and upgrade tree, nevermind all the weapons to unlock.

Yep. Laughed quite loudly when I first saw it. Of course my current enjoyment of the game is hampered by whatever issue is causing the client to freeze every time I come back from a mission, losing connection to the host if I'm playing with others.

Anybody playing this? I'm not great at shooters, so it is taking a bit of getting used to. The style of play is a bit more run and gun than Borderlands (at least how I play). It isn't Halo or TF2, but the pace feels a bit more amped.

Kato, Hark, Jarrod, and I were running pretty regular for a bit but that's been disrupted by Defiance along with real life stuff.

I think so but depends on their updates. They've been pretty good so far with adding content. Clan patch goes live Friday with a few new weapons and map layouts. In the future they are adding throwable weapons that can go into the pistol slot, improving stealth, and at some point new frames and new enemy factions, they've also said they may add new powers for existing frames as the card system they have now supports that. Also talk of prestiging which will reset you to zero but add more affinity slots to your weapons so even though you reset it, it will end up stronger when you remax it.

Have they added the ability to group with players that aren't on your friends list? I really enjoyed this game for the little I played it, but sadly it didn't click with my regular group. I'd love for the dev to add a lobby/station where you could avatar chat with other players and then group together for missions. Heck even a random team grouping like PSO would be OK.

You've been able to play with randoms forever, just set your game to public and when you browse around the planets you can see how many people are doing a mission and join in.

OK...for some reason that wasn't working for me, but that might have had something to do with a slow, wireless connection on my gaming rig. I have a new gaming rig now, so maybe I'll give it a try again on that. I'd still like a out of mission area like Phantasy Star Online though, where you can chat with other players toons'

In case anyone is remotely interested, there's an event this weekend where you can get an exclusive sniper rifle that sound like it will be fantastic. There are some special drones in Grineer missions level 15+. You need to kill 20 (team kills don't count).

Also, there was an update this week that made a ton of improvements, including the ability to customize the color your warframe abilities use (can't color them individually, one choice is applied to all).
